Nittaku Steluck Rubber

An entry-level inverted rubber that doesn't rebound too much, making basic strokes easy to practice

This is an entry-level inverted rubber (a rubber with a flat surface that makes it easy to put spin on the ball) that falls into Nittaku's control type. Because the rebound is not too strong, shots tend to stay under control, which suits practice in learning to carry the ball with your swing rather than relying on the rubber.
